By close time. At least one rival is sufficient to resolve YES.

GOP rival = anyone currently running for the GOP nomination in the primaries who is considered a 'major candidate' in polls according to 538.

Publicly criticized = any statement made publicly, in writing or orally, with journalists, as a press release, or from a social media account, expressing at least partial disapproval of the way Governor DeSantis handled the Florida response to Hurricane Idalia.

The criticisms can pertain to actions taken (or not taken) by DeSantis before, during, or after the hurricane.

I'm not a news junkie and can't follow what everyone says, so please feel free to submit candidates for resolution in the comments.

I will not bet in this market.
